We are still awaiting further news as to his condition but obviously the thoughts of everyone at the club are with him. From a team perspective this is the second rider that we have lost for the season in under two weeks, following the injuries sustained by Kyle Howarth, and we need to see where we go from here with regards to making changes.

BERWICKS injury jinx continued as No.1 Ricky Ashworth crashed out of their Premier League match with Somerset on the first bend of the first race.Ashworths right shoulder took the brunt of the impact and he was taken to hospital for further assessment on suspected multiple injuries to his right sideand without him, the Bandits fell to a 35-60 defeat against the high-flying Rebels.Berwick boss Ian Rae said: What have we done to deserve this? Weve now had seven major injuries in six matches, and yet we again had to race most of a meeting well down on manpower. Credit of course to Somerset, but we just cannot show our potential with this sort of evil luck thats striking our every effort at the moment.(SPEEDWAY 3)

MILDENHALL returned to form with a local derby win at Kings Lynn to close in on National League leaders Dudley.The Fen Tigers, beaten at home by Stoke last weekend, won 54-38 at the Norfolk Arena with Stefan Nielsen winning five of his six races with the only blip coming in a freak Heat 13 incident when his mudguard jammed into his back wheel, sending him off his machine.Fen Tigers boss Rob Henry said: I was delighted with the whole team tonight. We had a good talk before the meeting and they were all fired up and determined to get the win and move on from the Stoke defeat. They showed us again what we know they are capable of. Stefan and Josh (Bates) were superb and Ben (Morley) did a great job as Cam's (Heeps) replacement. All in all I am very proud of all of them and they can be proud of themselves too.
